Burnley FC Manager
On November 22, 2007 Scottish born, Ireland international Owen Coyle was introduced as the new manager at Burnley Football Club. Coyle took over a club that was finally stable on the field and led the team to a respectable 13th place finish on 62 points in the Championship. Coyle’s first full season in 2008-09 would be even more impressive as he led his team to a 5th place finish in the Championship and secured promotion through playoff victories. Coyle was a prolific striker in his playing days. After beginning his career with Dumbarton, Coyle bounced around to several different Scottish teams and even had a spell with Bolton Wanderers. Prior to joining Burnley, Coyle led Scotland’s St. Johnstone to back to back 2nd place finishes in Scotland’s second tier.
The club captured its first major trophy in 1914, defeating Liverpool FC 1-0 in the FA Cup final. The club’s first major league championship came during the 1920-21 season when they won England’s top flight after finishing second in the top flight in the prior season. After this point, league success would come at all levels of competition in England, but was interspersed with droughts in their form.
Burnley’s first game in the 2009-2010 Premiership will mark the completion of an astonishing turn around for a club that was on the brink of being relegated from the Football League all together in 1987.
Turf Moor – Burnley FC Stadium
The Clarets hold another distinction in English football that is surpassed by only one team. Burnley has played their football on the same ground since 1883, at Turf Moor. Only Preston North End has occupied the same ground continuously for a longer period than Burnley has been at Turf Moor. The stadium can currently hold 22,546 seated, though with Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League, plans are back in the mix to expand seating capacity to 28,000. Turf Moor has played host to one FA Cup semi-final. The game was played in 1922 and saw Huddersfield Town beat Notts County 3-1. The record attendance at the stadium was set in 1924 during an FA Cup 3rd round game as 54,755 saw Burnley host Huddersfield Town. Turf Moor’s North and East end seating stands were rebuilt in 1996 and are at current the largest and newest stands in the stadium. With its promotion to the Premier League secure, the Clarets hope to expand seating in the West and South stands to bring the stadiums total to 28,000.
This past spring (2009), the Clarets defeated Sheffield United 1-0 in the Championship’s playoff final to gain promotion to the Premier League.
Burnley FC rejoins Premiership, completing turn of fortune for club. Burnley Football Club returns to the Barclay’s Premier League on 15 August, 2009 as they face Stoke City on the road at Britannia Stadium. Burnley FC is returning to England’s top flight of football after a 33 year absence.
Burnley has been up and down through all four divisions of English football in their history, earning them a unique spot in the league’s history. Burnley FC is one of only three clubs to have won a championship in each of the four divisions. In addition to their 1920-21 success in the top flight, they captured another title in 1959-60, and have captured the second division title twice, and once each in the third and fourth divisions.
Burnley FC has a rich history in English football that goes back over 125 years. The Clarets are one of the founding members of the Football League. In 1888 Burnley, along with 11 other teams, founded the Football League. In the early decades of the newly founded league, Burnley experienced success on many different levels.
